Add Volumetric Lighting

After darkening up the scene using ProNoir’s shadowy effect styles users can add volumetric lighting in to add further contrast and stylization. ProNoir’s lighting presets come in two styles. The beam style is a light that simply overlays the scene and can be repositioned and rotated using on-screen controls. The source style presets feed off of the underlying media and create beautiful, realistic light rays that move with the light of the scene itself. On-screen controls allow users to edit the Light Center, Ray Length, Diffusion Point and Mask the Light so that it only affects the masked area.

Fog & Smoke Effects

Fog and Smoke are more staples of the noir genre that users can take advantage of using ProNoir. The 5 included smoke animations can be changed through a drop-down menu inside of any Smoke, or Master Effect preset. Users must choose a 1 second to 10 second preset based on how long the smoke animation will last. Users can adjust the speed of fog and use sliders to display totally new looks. Blend modes, opacities and more can also be changed for both fog and smoke presets.
